The Ubiquitous Null: Fractured and Digital (1999)
Before I sang or wrote songs on guitar, I did… whatever this was. Noise, I suppose. No instruments were used in the recording of this: mostly I used...
Levi Adams 1: New Roman Fantasy (2001)
Songs mostly written and recorded in 2000 and 2001 on a home PC. The exception to this–track 12, which was written in 1999–was recorded in 2000 and was...
Levi Adams 2: This is Polarity (2001)
Songs from the same time period as New Roman Fantasy, but with more of my experiments in computer-generated beats, loops, and overdubs sandwiched between the acoustic songs.
Sunset and Dawn: The Life Story of Levi Adams Volume One (1986-2001)
I. THE HIGH-SPEED DUB (1987-1997)

Two shorter releases from 2002 and 2003, re-sequenced with some cuts. This was my first time using recording equipment that did not come free with a personal computer....
Levi Adams 5: B-Sides for Singles I Forgot To Write (2003)
A collection of recordings from 2003 and earlier that weren’t on the earlier albums and weren’t on Venus is Coming to Kill You. Some experimental stuff, some improvisations,...
Levi Adams 6: Venus is Coming to Kill You (2004)
The album itself is all guitar and voice, but then the bonus tracks (particularly tracks 11 and 12) saw me experimenting more with production.

VIII. YOU’LL WANT A FRIEND (2001-2002)
Levi Adams 7: Flowers Smoking Cigarettes (2007)
This is a good one–an easier listen than many of my albums. Mostly just acoustic guitar and voice. Some good songwriting and an accidental nature theme.
Wilting Lily: Songs of Anatomy and Physiology (2010)

The first dog said hello. The second dog only sniffed at the first dog’s butt.
Nancy & Jester
During weekends at Auntie Emma’s house, my brother ate chicken nuggets. I often watched him lean over the tray table, forking nuggets—dragging them through the ketchup, disappearing them...
Eric & the Mannequins
Jamie-Q has written that there is a point at which a human identity fails—when a person has no choice but to re-invent him- or herself—and that the process...
The Doppelganger
One night at my favorite website for pornography, I discovered a tame but very appealing video clip of two boys kissing. One of the boys reminded me of...

Salvatore and the Cyclone
I hated fireworks, but Dorothy loved them, and I loved her, and I was in Kansas now.
The Curmudgeon
The curmudgeon’s face was not immediately visible as I stepped outside to breathe the still autumn air. He was clinging to the handrail, his torso upon the first...

Hero ‘98 #3: Manifest Like Witches
Marcy’s hair, fake red, no-I-mean-brighter-than-that fake red, but cut by her friend Alex, who doesn’t know how to cut hair. Definitely a bedroom cut. Nineteen years old, like...
My Chomps

Daryl, the Doctor, and the first dog entered a small room, in which several other dogs were sitting at a table, playing a game.

Another Wedding Story
The first time I ever slept next to my mother, I was twenty-two. I cried until I fell asleep, then woke up crying.
Hero ‘98 #5: This is Our End

Wormleysburg Variety #5: Leave It for the Trolls
